You were a charmer, I was a heartbreak junky You were a diamond, I was the heap of fool's gold You were the jet plane, I was the parachute failing i was the cheap ad when you were the centerfold Then my sun set hard on carolina Where she howled about the pender county line And her six-string fingers ran the length of some boy's body in younger dreams I though that body might be mine You were a cold crush, I was a heartbreak junky Now you're a mother and i'm a flashback son Yeah i'm a wasteland, you've got all your milk and honey And back then I swore you were the only one Bridge So disenchant me baby, i've been dying to know how to give up, get out, stay gone Make me not wanna go back to the girl that I had before, she was so sweet baby so sweet Maybe I can reconcile what I ripped in two That haphazard, half-hearted love I was making with you Yeah, I made it with you But now the bars are closed and the city sleeps tight As I ramble home my wretched merry way Where down was up and feeling bad felt so right. I thought that vertigo was here to stay We're talking hellfire, but at the time, it seemed funny When all the demons left the woodwork to play With an angel and a heartbreak junky Stuck in their rock bottom masquerade Bridge So disconnect me baby, i've been dying to know how to give up, get out, stay gone Make me not wanna go back to the girl that I had before, she was so sweet baby, so sweet Maybe I can reconcile what I ripped in two That haphazard, half-hearted love I was making with you Yeah, I made it with you So when eden burns behind you in the rearview And you're off to find a stranger paradise Where you can sing your own way out Well, you know that i'll be around With a sweet-talk woman fading slowly On a lovesick mind
